Why, Matthew?! Why? | 4-Sided Dive | Episode 15: Discussing Up To C3E66 

Matt doesn’t want to appear on 4SD cause he gets bullied for answers 😂

I am imagining they get to the sky elevator and Matt tells them that it cost a silver piece to use it.

I'm like, 99% sure that the switch on Ashton's hammer activates the Immovable Rod he took from Bor'Dor to turn the hammer into Mjolnir

Sam: "I've never been a champion before" Dani, offscreen: "yes you have"

"Sam , You keep adding body parts to FCG" Would you say Sam is Fleshing out his Character >.

*Travis gets home* Laura: Why did Sam just text me asking for a recent picture of Ronin? Travis: *flying broom flashbacks*

Sam, Travis, Taliesin: Betrayer God Champions? Matt: You’ve all met Aimee, right?

53:27 “it’s tough being the only godly one” somewhere, Pike Trickfoot is nodding her head in agreement

Matt slipping into DM mode to describe Genghis Khan carving through the Marshmallow Man in order to win his argument is exactly what I needed today

does travis understand that now sam is going to a ronin birthday party with a shirt with a picture of ronin in it XD

Matt kissing Sam's hand gave me just a burst of happiness. I adore this group of friends, and how they aren't afraid to show how much they care for one another.

At Ronin's next birthday, Sam is 100% showing up with a t-shirt with Ronin's face on it.

Guys... I have a confession to make. I just now realized that it's Critical ROLE and not ROLL while looking at the captions during the outro. It only took 5 years for me.

FCG has legend lore. FCG needs to cast it on himself.

39:10 Travis does realize that he has now created an open invitation for Sam Riegel to do that to HIS KID right?

Re: 36:21 when Travis asks why Ashton and Fearne didn't steal anything from Keyleth, on top of Taliesen's answer I suspect Ashton would never steal from someone else who basically has a really nasty case of chronic pain herself - Ashton can empathise extremely well there. Fearne might have, but she'd put it back straight afterwards because she'd feel bad about stealing from Orym's hero.

Travis and Ashley are just destined to be tavern keepers. If they do a show together, it’s gonna be both of them reading the prompter.

Sam admitting he stole mugs at Skywalker Ranch is extra hilarious to me since my high school got to record there, so I can visualize what it looked like when he was enacting his crime 36:47

11:55 Hot take: Ludinus is a young Vecna. - During the solstice his left hand shrivels into what will become The Hand of Vecna - He has a weird obsession with the Raven Queen - He was siphoning life energy from other creatures like a lich with a phylactery - He believes he is greater than the gods - Last campaign Matt mentioned at least one wizard who might have successfully time traveled and never returned - Wotc revealed that Vecna is tied to the time traveling obelisks in Ythryn and elsewhere around the Forgotten Realms - In Forgotten Realms those obelisks were created by the weavers, who Matt teased with some of the ley line/string theory imagery leading up to the apogee solstice (also consider Nana Morri, “The Fatestitcher”) -Vecna is thought to have stolen the secrets to the obelisks from the weavers and erased all mention of them, not unlike Ludinus absorbing powerful Fey creatures, to keep others from using the technology - Vecna will be featured in an upcoming adventure from Wotc that acts as a sequel to Lost Mines of Phandelver - Where there’s Vax there’s Vecna or one of his followers

Huge shout out for kaiti_rae22 for that question. The anwsers confirmed what I was thinking all along, and which is also the reason why watch Critical Role in the first place. It's not because it is interesting to see professional voice actors play an improv based game, it is because they are a group of friends who all happened to have the same job and that vibe still permeates the table like no other group. And it reminds me so much of my own TTRPG group in my teens, only with people who are a lot better in staying in character. And that is so much fun to watch.

Please, please, *PLEASE* make Superfight part of the regular rotation for 4-Sided Dive. I laughed myself hoarse with this one, and it being a game that EVERYONE is invested in even if it's not their 'turn' makes it so much more fun.

Matt: "You know when you get gifts when you're like 'I feel obligated to show this off?" Taliesin: "....my mother.......**silently** sorry Mom"

Sometimes my brain just reminds me that Travis is the very serious CEO of a very serious media company 😂😂

Travis: "Also, the better half of the group, otherwise known as Orym, Chetney and Fearne-" Tal: "Ah, easy mode - yes." Travis: *about Vax* "He's just continuously being tortured." Tal: "Nice." Oh, Taliesin, I love you~

Vax just got knocked from the top spot of the "people who need to be saved from this torment" list and replaced with Travis 😂

Now i want a high-octane Ashton comic that does cool shit with his portals. Swinging the hammer into one in one panel, hitting the guy in the distance in the next panel.

Travis is my favorite host. Please make him host more.

"Live by the hipster, die by the hipster." --Tallahassee Joffrey

Hearing Matt be so passionate about the show was very emotional for me. He truly is a masterful artist

The moment between Sam and Matt at 33:34 is absolutely adorable.

I believe that ludinus (I’m horrible at spelling names) is going to try to absorb prodathos. I think the chest piece they found is a prototype for what he has now.

I discovered critical role 7 months ago I'm finally caught up enough to watch 4sd as it comes out I'm so happy I made it you guys

Boil em, Mash em, Stick em on a Moon! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love that they made fun of the tower of inquiry questions for being shallow and then actually pulled some pretty good ones. I'm glad that they seem to be listening to feedback and making changes to the show.

I really enjoy the cancelling of high level information gathering, as in sending and teleporting. It adds a stake and unknown that raise the tension IMMENSELY and I love it!

Taliesin's pure epitome of a hipster had me in stitches 😂😂😂

I'm glad Sam called out just how terrible the Tower of Inquiry questions could be. I hope they keep up the quality from now on.

''What they were trying to do was very insteresting'' ''Yeah, you should look into it more'' As a DM, I very much feel that

Sam making fun of some of the questions was hilarious.

Holy crap I want Sam's shirt. I don't know why but it just looks comfy as hell.

Talisen: do the betrayer gods have champions Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen EXU: Kymal SOMEWHERE Aamie is watching this: REALLY?! Alright Matt bring me back in I'm ready for round two, imma bring the chaos of which is Opal 😈💅🕷️

35:54 Of course Keyleth would just say thank you and except each gift. She's too nice!

"I'm gonna kick someone's shins!" Not how I expected Travis to end that sentence.

1:25:25 That split second before Sam finished his sentence, I deadass thought he was gonna say "Ludinous has long hair,... Matt has long hair..." As if the joke was that Matt has become Vax level meta and is in fact Ludinous. LMAO

I love how super fights goes. Please play it again in the future 😂

1:31:44 Something I just noticed in the Midst trailer: All three of our protagonists have an alchemical symbol above their portraits. Phineas and Weepe have Earth and Air, respectively, which is fitting as in many ways they occupy two sides of the same coin, but Lark, equally fittingly, is Salt.

1:41:26 I feel like Brenden Lee Mulligan would be unbeatable at this game

1:13:55 OMG mind blown 🤯 Chetney made the chair that almost thwarted the whole Mighty Nein campaign.

I absolutely LOVE Kyle’s cackle! That’s a level of gremlin I hope to accomplish!

I’m sorry but Tal and Matt doing improv together is my new fetish

0:50 just 50 seconds into this and I am already crying laughing from Travis's misfortunes.

Dani's outfit is so cute!!!! I love seeing Dani so much she is the best! Please make more of the critical role clothes in bigger sizes so ppl like Dani and me can wear them too

I love that matt is joking about finishing the campaign with a dexterity check but he completely forgot about how he did the last fight in c1 xd

I love that even Matt is like "You should look into it more", "start asking more questions" about Ashton's stuff. There's clearly SO MUCH lore there that Matt has just been WAITING to drop, and it feels like it probably ties in to everything happening. Taliesin holding cards close to the chest is one thing, but at this point I get the impression that if he keeps sidestepping it, Matt might drop Ashton's backstory on the whole party, lol. 27:46: Dani's sad little "Oh" :( Dani is all of us.

Whoever edited Ashley and Sam's reactions into frames -- thank you💚🤣

38:02 Did the cast of Critical Role just ask us to be complicit to their crimes... or else? 😅😂😂👏👏 these people are my people

As much as mr. willingham hates being the tavernkeeper, the episodes where he is the tavernkeeper are some of the most entertaining ones

Can we just film Dani reacting to episodes? I'd totally watch that

1:48:30 Simpler answer: Even leaving aside extrahistorical prowess like "masters any weapon instantly", this is every Home Depot in the country, if not the world. He's got as many staff weapons and javelins as there are 2x4s.

Watched this live, but only just saw Tal's shirt - Please don't kill us Moon XD

I'm still not over how good the four side dice song is

Please play Super Fight again. I'd watch another hour of that easily

Finally with Matt again :D

tbh the betrayer gods are likely also panicking as I doubt predathos is going to stop with just the prime deities

Ok, Tallesin and Travis discussing the specifics of the Transformers transformation noise was PEAK nerd, and I love it 😂

Sam and Taliesin are so freaking great. My favorites hands down

39:11 well, now I'm gonna wait for Sam to unveil a shirt with Ronin on it, lmao

You would think the Betrayer gods would be shitting there pants as well with Predathos. Wasn't he sealed before the divine gate?

Caught it live, what an exceptionally hilarious 4SD!

Since the gods are in danger, you think the Wildmother would call upon Fjord and Cad for help??

I love that Travis actually used his position to make the others do the tower - that kind of friendly malice is what I've been missing on 4SD!

Moose are terrifying... as a human! No flipping way the Hippo has anything to fear from the Moose.

Soooo just a wild theory regarding Ashton: MAYBE Hishari tried to awaken a primodial and MAYBE they actually did partially succeed because one of their kids is slowly turning into one

Dinosaurs was a phenomenal television show and all of its digs on society are so amazing. I still enjoy watching it and find it hilarious.

As someone from Minnesota, the Minnesota summer remark got me good. Our summers are brutal

Taliesin and Travis forgot to take into account the weight of the plate armor on Taliesin's moose's speed and endurance.

I love the notion of FCG bothering the Change Bringer to the point of... New God, who dis?

One day they'l name an episode "What the fuck is up with Matt" and I don't know if I'm looking forward to that day or dreading it.

This is the chaotic energy we needed. 4 Sided Dive tried to build chaos into the format. We need more of the natural chaos that Talks used to have.

i dont know if its a new Camera or better editing or Green screen but i love this video quality on this episode, props to whom responsible!!

Imogen is 100% a champion of her god (good or evil) and is being called forward to help in the fight hence the skin changes and her losing control

Yes, finally. The dopamine hit i've been waiting for...

Somebody had fun with the teleprompter

So... how long has Santa been holding a baby and a machete in the background?

... so Sam's Superfight character is basically a walking Guacamole-flavored mochi?

Ashton confirmed as Rocky Road

0:56 Sam wanted to host so bad 😂

Sam *deliberately* taking the marshmallow man made of guacamole 🤣

56:18 shouldve called it the Menage a Spa

this group is just absolute chaos and I love it

0:12 Travis.... background.

Chetney is Kenough

40:02 Taliesin: Rocky Road (quietly)

I’m now around the 45 minute mark, and this is a sort of discussion that I’d been thinking about as times changed over the years of the appearance, the commercials, and so on. I’d been thinking how different things became from the early on first season, with lower tech and just getting the show from home game to streamed. To then getting better quality tech and making it look nicer. Then new studio, and sponsors, and more “business” related. Even sponsors that had nothing to do with D&D or even computer gaming or even computers. Old Spice, Toothpaste, and so on. I would NEVER use the term “sell out” because that’s not what I’m feeling. It just spiraled so much from what it started out as, and it’s just hard to connect back to what it was versus what it is now. In many ways, it’s great what it is now. But it’s so far afield from what it started as that it’s hard to connect the two anymore. Them talking about how great it was before the stream at all, then the early stream. I don’t really get how that old vibe ever existed, no matter how fun it feels now.

Still blown away by how fuckin hard the outro music goes on 4SD

The scariest question is whether or not Ludinous is fully aware Predathos is going to kill everyone on Exandria (even if it's just collateral damage) and doesn't care. His world already ended. Maybe after he sets Predathos loose Ludinous is just going to skip town and find a different plane of existence to live on.
